I am sure most are thinking this project is dead. It has been awhile since we have updated the progress of SIMAIR.

The state of the project is currently on hold. However, it is still very much alive. We just haven't had the resources or time to put into. The core of our focus has been solely on Sky Force, Weather Force, Environment Force, and Worldwide Airports.

However, once we have these projects polished, our focus will move back to SIMAIR.

I, too am very interested in this project. There are several freeware options that come close, but don't completely hit the mark in my opinion. I've used FS Economy, various virtual airlines, and Air Hauler2. Realism is key for me. I own several REX products, and have been a customer for many years. I am confident you folks can put together an attractive, realistic product. My advice is to find a way to entice pilots to fly. Give purpose behind flying other than simple reputation. The currency idea is great - but what to do with the money? I only fly 737ng, so realistically - I would never be able to afford my own plane. And why would I want to - other than making more money... Other than purchasing planes, what would encourage me to make more $$ (aka: fly more routes)? Perhaps using cash to invest in airport facilities others own (with some return on investment) , or use it to purchase facilities at airports myself? That has always been a question in my mind. If there was some reason, or purpose behind making virtual dollars, it would keep my interest much longer.

Hey everyone! I am glad to to hear it is still being worked on. I come back to this forum about once a month to make sure that is the case (haha). I, and I'm sure many others, have been wanting an addon just like this for a long time. In fact, it's the number one thing I feel that is missing and would get me more involved in Flight Sim more often. Total support here! Will definitely be a buyer in the future.

Hopefully a release announcement...
Did you actually realized that with this you'll get A LOT of money from P3D users, 'couse there's still no FSPassengers for v4?
But presto, presto... users will buy the one that will come out first.....

Thank you, everyone, for their patience with this project. The SIMAIR project has been a personal bitter/sweet experience. Sweet in that we are very excited about what this project has to offer. We have often felt that the goal of SIMAIR was to be a bridge between flight simulation and a better sense of reality. However, it has been bitter in that we have had to continually put the project on the back burner due needs in other areas of our business.

SIMAIR's goal was to be a simulation within itself. Thus, this project has had some very ambitious goals.

The Present...

As you know we had a meeting in early February 2019 to discuss the feasibility of the project and whether we should continue or just scrap the project. The core of our business has dominated much of our time and left us with very little time to progress in development. Once we felt ready to jump in development something would require our attention elsewhere.

Like I stated this is a VERY AMBITIOUS project. So it demands our fullest of attention.

All of us in our meeting agreed that SIMAIR must be built. That SIMAIR fits perfectly into our vision for 2019 and beyond for REX Simulations.

The Future...

However, we have delayed development until Q2 2019. Our focus right now is to complete 3 key projects associated with the "FORCE" line of products: Sky Force - Technical Update 2.1, Sky Force - Creative Update 1, Environment Force, and Weather Force.

We feel as a company that once Q2 arrives we will be in a better position to move forward with this project with more focus and determination.

Thank you for a detailed update. Although l admit, not the update I was hoping for, an update nonetheless. I'm glad to hear there is continued interest in moving forward. Thank you for providing an understanding of priorities and decisions affecting delays. Although some may not agree, at least you have given logical explanation of your direction.

Thank you Bill. It is a project we really want to see to come to light and we have so many great things planned for it.
